Transforming Technical and Vocational Education

The federal government's plan to transform the nation's technical and vocational education is bound to receive the approval of well-meaning Nigerians, especially those who are concerned about the appalling lack of skills in the education system which has made it difficult for Nigerian youths to be self-employed or be employable. Over the past two or three decades, Nigeria has been saturated with unemployment that has affected graduates and non-graduates from all parts of the country. This has been blamed on the absence of well-funded practical education that can be acquired at the technical and vocational institutions as was the case before the introduction of the 6-3-3-4 system more than two decades ago.

Vocational institutions such as technical and commercial schools that operated side by side with teacher training colleges and grammar schools in those good days were run for just three years, after which their graduates sat for vocational examinations. Such vocational and technical education even went beyond certificates as students acquired practical education that made them self-employed as electricians, plumbers, pipe fitters, mechanics, stenographers, typists, book-keepers, among others.

There is no doubt that the foundation of great economies all over the world is anchored in skill-acquisition centres as exemplified in technical and vocational education. The absence of this system of education has made Nigeria a dumping ground for technical school leavers from Europe and Asia. This is why the federal government's plan to transform the nation's technical education should be encouraged.

Reports suggested that the federal government has gone beyond the realm of rhetoric and is building synergy with international development partners to ensure that a workable framework is developed to achieve the administration's goal. Already, the federal government's team led by Chief Ezenwa Nyesom Wike, the country's minister of state for education, has made a pact with Highbury College, Portsmouth, in the United Kingdom, to fashion out the modalities of implementing the technical and vocational education framework.

While we acknowledge the importance of this programme, we urge the federal government to monitor its implementation which could be encumbered by corruption and red tape as is common in other schemes. Indeed, such technical and educational centres should be established in each of the 774 local government areas. State governments should also key into this programme; they should build their own technical and vocational schools in strategic local government areas all over their states. This will help to reduce the problem of unemployment.

We call on the federal government to sensitise investors, wealthy citizens and non-governmental organisations to take interest in establishing vocational centres all over the country.

1. It is not enough to be in the right place at the right time. You have to be the right person in the place at the right time.
2. If you want to move to a higher level of life, you have to be willing to let go of some of your old ways of thinking and begin to adopt new ones.
3. Your character, your thinking and your beliefs are a critical part of what determines the level of your success.
4. The vast majority of people simply do not have the internal capacity to create and hold on to large amounts of money and the increased challenges that go with more money and success. That is the primary reason they do not have much money.
5. Just as the roots create the fruits; your innerself produces your physical results. Therefore, to change your physical results, you must work on your innerself – The roots of your life.
6. Our life is made up of the mental, the spiritual, the emotional and the physical. Interestingly, the physical is merely a print out of the other three making them more important because they decide the physical.

 Think about this………………

• FAMILY IS NOT WHOSE BLOOD YOU CARRY; IT IS WHO YOU LOVE AND WHO LOVES YOU.

FIVE HALLMARKS OF HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE

1. Tempered Tenacity

Respected achievers are incredibly tenacious. They do not allow obstacles to stop them, at least not for long, chiefly because they’ve trained their thinking to immediately seek out other ways of reaching a goal. To a tenaciously driven person, there is never just one way to get there, and no one will convince them otherwise.  However, the sort of achiever we’re talking about also keeps the well-being of others in mind, and if one of those alternate routes will result in unnecessarily harming someone else, then that route isn’t an option, period. To the respected achiever, it doesn’t have to be, because they know there are other ways to get where they want to go even if it takes longer to get there.

2. Consistent Commitment

Another hallmark of respected achievers is that they do what they say they’ll do. They don’t spin out an elaborate vision, get others to buy into it, and then run off to the next big idea because it has sparked their interest more than the first. While nurturing multiple visions is fine (assuming they are manageable), the respected achiever sets a high standard for her/himself that what they commit to do on a project, they fully intend to do and will make every reasonable effort to make it happen.
